Yoga Makes Life Easier

A great reminder popped up on my iGoogle page today: “The next time you are really upset, take the opportunity to have yourself a good cry. Life is suffering. There is always bad to counter good and vice versa. Have a good cry. It is one of the best meditations you can have, though you do not want to overdo it. Picture yourself sitting on the bank of a gentle river and, from time to time, see a log come floating down the river. Follow the log, observing it floating past and out of sight.”

I've been told, “life is not meant to be easy. Life is meant to be hard.” Lately, I feel like life has been on super hard mode for me...pretty much beyond hard, cranked up to expert level. On that note, I am super thankful to have yoga in my life since it essentially makes my life easier.

Remembering to breathe is the hardest part though. Once you learn to recognize you are not breathing, you can become aware and it makes situations a lot easier.

I encourage you to become aware of your breath not only in your yoga practice but in everyday situations. Yoga is a way life, practice it often. For yoga in Gainesville, check out my Gainesville yoga classes.
